<h4>Chapter 178: The Noble Adide</h4>


    “Mr. Locke, wee! Of course, there’s also this new friend!”


    The young Count Adide was dressed in white today and the delicate fan in his hand was in the same color.


    “I need your help with something… Let’s get some food first and talk while we eat.” Although it was a new residence, due to Adide’s obsessivepulsive disorder, the decorations here were no different from the previous manor.


    Locke felt as if he had returned to his own home. He sat on the sofa, cut a cigar on the table, and enjoyed it.


    However, Dous’s reaction waspletely the opposite. To be exact, it was shock! A shock that came from the bottom of his heart!


    As a retainer of arge family, Dous naturally knew about the one of the top jewelers in the entire continent!


    The two families had done some small business before.


    Although Dous had never met Adide, judging from his white clothes and the precision of the items in his house, he was undoubtedly the master of the Estelle family!


    What surprised Dous even more was that!


    Locke was so young but he was not nervous in front of Adide. The two of them were still talking andughing!


    This well-known count even personally poured tea for Locke!


    If someone in the Trent family dared to treat father and son like this, that person’s skin would probably be peeled off!


    “Greetings, Count…” As Dous had been educated by the Trent father-and-son for many years, he could not change his habits for the time being. He greeted them and was ready to kneel down on one knee.


    Adide immediately went forward to interrupt him, saying, “There’s no need for that! Mr. Locke’s friend is my friend! Please sit down! Don’t stand on ceremony!”


    Dous nodded slightly and sat down beside Locke.


    “Don’t worry! I’ve already arranged for the chef to work since you entered my house thirty kilometers away!”


    Locke chuckled. “Hehe, are you that careful? I thought you hired many Beastmasters to be your security guards?”


    Waving his fan, Adide smiled and said, “It’s better to be safe than sorry! I can’t always trouble Mr. Locke! I definitely don’t wish for our rtionship to just be an employer and employee! We should be friends who can talk about everything!


    “Oh right! In less than 15 minutes, you’ll be able to taste the most delicious Daemon meat! This morning, a batch of ck truffles was sent over and I also asked the chef to prepare it…”


    Knowing that Locke enjoyed delicious food, Adide put in a lot of effort to please him! He had specially set up a “food search department” in thepany, just to look for rare delicacies in the entire continent.


    It was not that Adide was ttering Locke. It was because Locke had unintentionally helped him a lot!


    Once the Trent family of Gold City copsed, no other family had the ability topete with the Estelle family for the jewelry business in Gold City.


    Although it had only been a day, under the leadership of the head butler, L?w, they had acquired arge number of Trent family’s shops.


    They had instantly upied more than 60% of the market in Gold City! They had struck it rich!


    With Locke’s name, other families in Gold City did not dare to cause trouble!


    The monthly gratitude fee to Locke was really worth it!


    “Mr. Locke! You may not know it but you’ve helped me a lot this time! In Gold City, my family’s business will definitely be smooth sailing in the future…” As he spoke, Adide took out a check that he had prepared in the morning and handed it to Locke. “This is the fee for the gratitude…”


    As Locke held it in his hand, he saw that it was three billion!


    Dous, who was sitting beside Locke, was stunned!


    It was too generous!


    However,pared to the future benefits in Gold City, this was really not a big sum.


    After puffing out a mouthful of cigar, Locke nced at the check and put it in his arms with a peace of mind. Then, he said, “We came here to ask for your help! We want to go to Gold City as soon as possible, but the journey is a little far. Can you help us solve the problem?”


    “How long will it take to set off?”


    “After dinner.”


    The two seemed to have some tacit understanding as friends. The conversation was simple and clear.


    “Shua!”


    Putting away the fan, Adide picked up the phone in the living room and dialed a number.


    “Listen well! I’m in Manor Six now! Immediately arrange for my fastest private jet toe here. Yes! Right away!”


    What Locke admired most about Adide was that he was generous, modest, and more importantly, he was quite efficient in doing things!


    Compared to those noblemen who were just waiting to die, it was like heaven and Earth.


    Locke did not know how Adide had developed these personalities and skills in his twenties.


    In short, Locke was impressed!


    After hanging up the phone, the servant brought some coffee over.


    The two continued to chat. Dous was still a little nervous and did not dare to interrupt.


    Locke also told Adide about Dous’ situation.


    After drinking a mouthful of coffee, Adide said with a regretful expression, “Sigh… The Trent family’s reputation has always been bad but it’s rare that your heart hasn’t changed. You’re really a good man…”


    “It’s a pity that you’re already working at the academy. Otherwise, you’d definitely be the captain of my security team! But it doesn’t matter! I’m also an investor and one of the shareholders of the academy. Let’s keep in touch in the future! Here’s my business card. If you need anything,e find me! You don’t have to be polite! Hahaha…”


    Adide let out a heartyugh.


    As an “instor” who did not have any mana Adide hoped to be able to interact with more powerful Beastmasters.


    Although the curse had not been removed, he could not give up on the hope of “living.”


    After Dous carefully put away the business card with gold iid on it, the fifteen minutes Adide spoke of had just ended.


    A fragrance that made one’s appetite soar entered everyone’s nostrils.


    After eating the delicious and extravagant dishes, Adide’s private ne also stopped at the airport of the manor.


    “Mr. Locke, I have a lot of private nes! But this one is the fastest! Don’t worry about the service…”


    Just as Adide was exining, the cabin door of the small, high-end ne opened.


    Two beautiful women in sexy clothes walked over with charming smiles and saluted.


    After giving a suggestive look to Locke, Adide said, “You’re wee…”


    “Sir! The flight time is about four hours! If there’s anything you need, ask the waiter to contact me!” With that, the captain returned to the cockpit.


    After taking off, the two beautiful girls brought over desserts and high-end drinks.


    “Do you two need a massage? We’re professionals…” The two girls showed off their figures both intentionally and unintentionally, and their beautiful eyes faintly giving off suggestive hints.


    Dous blushed and coughed on purpose. “No, I want to sleep…”


    The truth was that Dous had promised Diana that he would never touch other women.


    Locke did not care and asked the two girls to massage him. He looked at Dous who was pretending to sleep and said, “I’ll definitely take you with me when Ie out. Anyway, all the benefits are mine.”
